Viola Davis And Octavia Spencer Grab Screen Actors Guild Nominations!

As award season heats up, Oscar-front runners Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer recently landed Screen Actors Guild awards for their work in the blockbuster The Help. Get the deets inside....

Since making its debut in 1995, the SAG Awards have become one of the most prized accolades in the industry, and two fab YBF chicks are up for top nods.

Judy Greer from "The Descendants" and Regina King from "Southland" announced the nominees for the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards yesterday at the SilverScreen Theater at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. And it was revealed that new adoptive mom-to-be, Viola Davis, was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for The Help. Her co-star Octavia Spencer was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role. The movie received 4 nods total.

Other notable nominations were the casts of Bridesmaids and The Help for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and Laurence Fishburne as Thurgood Marshall for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries.

Also Tracy Morgan and Amber Riley were both nominated for their work in "30 Rock" and "Glee" in the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. "Modern Family" was also nominated in this category (Kevin Hart played a small role this season). And the cast of "The Good Wife" were nominated for their ensemble work in the drama category.

I still think "Homeland" on Showtime was snubbed. FANTASTIC show.

Find out who will win on the live show airing on TNT and TBS on January 29, 2012, at 8 PM (ET) / 5 PM (PT) from the Shrine Exposition Center in L.A. Congrats to the nominees!

ITS SAD THAT HOLLYWOOD IS STILL RASICST****reguarding roles that are given**********the create whats popular and mostly black shows are not popular. However a sitcom with a one black person, TRACY MORGAN, is the acception with a white cast. Theres alot of POLITICS. So my only drama is that Black actors keep and only getting recognition for sexual roles HALLE BERRY( I wonder how does she feel about that), submissive poor roles etc...you get the point. So we can say yay "we are still getting work" or we can start our own production companys like ty perry. Its still an intriging indstry. We all want to be scene, accepted & successful.

My best friend ,she just has announced her wedding with a millionaire manRonald who
is the CEO of a MNC !they met via -----successfulmingle.℃О'M------- ..it is the largest
and best club for wealthy people and their admirers to chat online. …you don’t have to be
rich there ,but you can meet one , It's worthy a try. You do not have to be rich or famous.
!-------but you can mee one, the most important is you can find your** true l-o-v-e**!
right?

These young gals played the part so well . They were really good as Haitian maids... But viola should not wear that dark red lipstick.. Black girls need to learn what make up goes with their tone.. Dark girls have shinny skin tone therefore the light always absorb their skin .... The green.looks hot on.her.. The other girl is cute its sad it took a major.movie to make her lose a few pound but she was real good in the movie.. She will never play a senator nor a president but she will be notice... Good job for the young gals

Fellows, listen up! Christmas is coming!!! You wanna find your lover to have this wonderful time together? Looking for a mature partner to pamper and take care of you, perhaps financially? Try http://www.billionairefriends.com it's what you want!! You attractive and young people, beautiful, intelligent and classy college students, aspiring actresses or models who struggling in the early part of your career!!!

I absolutely love this movie! That is my favorite line. Thank you for posting it! They were definitely heroines in the movie, they displayed strength and courage under oppression. I don't find it degrading that they played those roles because the most humble person can make great changes. They were simply fantastic and it was one of my favorite movies that I saw all year.

You are so right!!! They are both doomed to play maids for the rest of their career. When blacks take these types of roles they can't get away from them.. Cuba Gooding's career went right down the toilet after he won his oscarbfor jumping around yelling "show me the money." very few blacks are able to escape the subservient roles once they take them.. Notice none of black Hollywood wants to be anywhere near these women.. Even Oprah didn't show up for the screening of this movie.. They better enjoy this, cause unless they are willing to say yes ma"am, dis and dat, they can forget it. They are pushing this stupid movie all over again for Xmas.. It's nauseating!

Oh SHUT UP! You sound like a typical dumb negro! Viola and Octavia were both brilliant in this movie and the movie was well done. The fact is, segregation in the south happened. Black women worked as maids in white households. But the movie had a bigger message than what your simple ass saw....and you probably didn't even see it! And you have the nerve to be speaking for all of "black Hollywood?" How do you know who they are supporting and how the hell do you know why Oprah didn't show up or if she showed up?
Yes, you are STUPID!

I would rather see them play maids and be great actresses in a thoughtful, thought provoking movie than to play lawyers in a C-list poorly written/directed/funded movie. The civil rights movement wasn't won by just lawyers but by humble people who worked very hard and wanted a better future for themselves and their children. I loved the movie.
